Well, I did it. And it was great. Just drinking some beer at Whistler Village and eating some lunch in the shadows of the mountains. Drinking to success...the bungee jump, the business trip, the client meetings...to everything.

Woke up at 4 am to catch a bus to Whistler. Not sure what I want to do while there. Time permitting might take a couple of runs snowboarding, but the way I feel this whole week, and the limited amount of time I have, might just skip it.

I do have bungee jumping planned. What attracted me to Whistler Bungee Jump is the location. Right over a white water river in a canyon in the middle of the thick forests surrounding Whistler.

Should have some posts later today. Sent from my BlackBerry device on the Rogers Wireless Network

Something I've noticed in my short time in Vancouver so far. No one really Jaywalks!! People wait patiently for the light to change to green before they try to walk across the street...even in situations where there are no cars in view anywhere!! I find this odd...where I'm I Bizarro Toronto, where everyone crosses and jaywalks all the time. I guess that's why people in T.O. Are always getting hit by cars...lol

Landing in Vancouver early this morning around 9 am. Took the opportunity of getting here early before some client meetings to take in some of the city.

Walked around most of the downtown core, about 2 hours of walking. Went to Robson Square, which still had huge crowds, went to the Bill Reid Gallery for some Northwest Coast Native art and then went to the Olympic Torch site, Canada Place and old Vancouver area, Gastown.

I also bought a Northwest Coast Mask from Hill Native Art store in Gastown. The mask represents a bee and has many different colours.

I'm waiting at the Toronto airport, waiting for my flight to Vancouver for a business trip. Although I have many meetings and a conference to attend, during my spare time I intend to take in some sights.

I love being ay the airport this early in the morning. Its about 4 am, and it feels like a ghost town.
